National Dex Natdex celebi team

[Karim_celebi_>:P]

Hello! This is my attempt at making a Celebi team that is decent, since I doubt there will ever be a really good Celebi team, but it’s my favourite Pokémon, so I really want to try to make a decent Celebi team. I have been stuck in mid 1500–1600 with it, and the set is my own. If there are any better sets anyone has in mind, then I would really like to see them aswell as just changing sets or mons across the team just dont switch celebi out thanks :D

this is the team https://pokepast.es/b7745b8612279a8e or you could just check below

1

Celebi @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

Aura Sphere
Leaf Storm
Psychic
Nasty Plot


I chose Celebi since, yeah, it’s obviously my favourite Pokémon and that’s what this whole team is about lol. The set is a Nasty Plot Fightinium Z set for late game or breaking walls like Ferrothorn, Heatran, or a chipped Corvi. After +2, its STAB Psychic is also pretty damn hard to deal with. At +2, it does struggle against obviously Bug types and mons like Zapdos, Char Y, Punch Gambit, Tornadus, and probably wayyy more.

Alomomola @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 8 HP / 252 Def / 248 SpD
Impish Nature

Protect
Flip Turn
Mirror Coat
Wish


I chose Mola for the standard reason of healing the team, keeping it alive for the long run, and giving momentum like safe switches. It also can resist well types like Fire, Water, and Steel for the team.

3

Diancie-Mega @ Diancite
Ability: Magic Bounce
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Rock

Diamond Storm
Moonblast
Earth Power
Mystical Fire


I think Mega Dian is the best, if not one of the best, Megas I could pair with Celebi. Their typings fit well together defensively and offensively. Diancie can take care of well almost everything Celebi dies to, like Char Y, Zapdos, Flying types, Ice types, and Fire types, and Celebi can help with some Steels or resist Ground, Water, or Grass for Diancie.


4

Corviknight @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 248 HP / 200 Def / 60 SpD
Impish Nature

Defog
Roost
U-turn
Brave Bird


I chose Corviknight for the main hazard control and to tank hits and pivot out safely into like Diancie or Celebi. It helps Mola with Grass, while Mola helps it with Fire. They are both weak to Electric alongside Fini, which probably is a problem, but yeah, other than that, it’s a normal boring Corviknight.


5

Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

Stone Edge
Knock Off
Earthquake
U-turn



Scarf Lando is the main physical attacker on the team. I picked it for
speed control. It can support with Knock and deal with Steels for Diancie, Electric for
Mola, Fini, and Corvi. Stone Edge is for Zapdos, Tornadus, and it’s just helpful with breaking down teams, surprising some players.




6

Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Def / 192 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

Defog
Surf
Nature's Madness
Taunt




Tapu Fini is the support of the team alongside Corviknight. It can Defog, maybe c
atching some hazard stack players off guard by not thinking I’m running Defog on it.
Taunt is there to be annoying, Surf for STAB damage, and Nature’s Madness to chip
down and it combos well with Taunt to stop walls from healing.

Hello! This is my attempt at making a Celebi team that is decent, since I doubt there will ever be a really good Celebi team, but it’s my favourite Pokémon, so I really want to try to make a decent Celebi team.

Do check out gen3, plenty of good teams have celebi on it and its pretty good

Edit: really anyth before SM, SS (not bad in those tiers necessarily) celebi is a great pokemon choice for teams

I’ll try it, but I really have no experience with older gens and their metagame or moves that might work differently.”

Hi I like Celebi as a Pokemon but there are some undeniable flaws with this team:

- Lack of a Ghost or Rock Resist. Lacking a ghost resist makes Gholdengo, Ceruledge, Pecharunt very threatening for this team especially Gholdengo and Pecharunt. Rock resists aren't as important but it makes MU's such as offensive Tyranitar and Mega Diancie a lot harder.
- Quite terrible speed control, your fastest Pokemon is a Choice Scarf Landorus-Therian which is ok but then your next fastest is a Mega Diancie. Leaves revenge killing sweepers and fast Pokemon such as Zamazenta a lot harder.
- Poor hazard control, both of your removers (Corviknight & Tapu Fini) match up quite poorly into Gholdengo
- Very weak on the special side, this makes special attackers such as Mega Charizard Y for example very hard to face
- No hazards, makes breaking with this team a lot harder and makes the team a lot more passive. Lots of Pokemon will be easily able to check your team without the added chip of hazards

The main issue however was that nothing really helped Celebi do anything. Celebi is herd shut down by Pokemon such as Gholdengo. This is why I would want to replace ->


Kingambit @ Black Glasses
Ability: Supreme Overlord
EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Pursuit
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Knock Off

- Pursuit Kingambit can help remove Gholdengo and other annoying Pokemon to help Celebi in breaking. This also gives you a Rock & Ghost resist especially the latter. Speed is to outspeed Corviknight however you can adjust the speed to however you wish.

Moreover, to fix the speed control issue I would like to change ->


Zamazenta @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Dauntless Shield
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Ice Fang

- Zamazenta is a great Pokemon for many reasons but one of them is that it provides great speed control. Also a nice natural check to Kingambit and other physical attackers. HDB set with Ice Fang because with the removal of Corviknight, Gliscor and Landorus-Therian become much harder to answer.

Finally, in order to fix the special side of things I would replace ->


Slowking-Galar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 36 Def / 224 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic Noise
- Sludge Bomb
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower

- Standard AV Slowking, gives you a super nice special wall while also being a more long term solution to Pokemon such as Subtect Kyurem and Mega Charizard Y.

Set Changes:

- Made this minimum speed with 0 IVS in speed. This lets you potentially underspeed other Alomomola as well as other Pokemon such as Pelipper.

- I made this a landorus as you now have Zamazenta for speed and Kingambit for priority. This will be the hazard remover as it will be a way better remover than Tapu Fini and Corviknight ever were. I would also make this Stealth-Rock as this will help breaking and you previously had no rocks anyways. Made the EV's different to outspeed great tusk and made this a more HP invested lando to tank hits better.

also side note, ik you're trying to help but this isn't really the point of RMT's. You're meant to help fix and adjust teams no matter how bad they are & directing people to a separate tier isn't the point of this forum.
